With past love fled and turned to stone?

Shall not the springtide music's roll

Mock withered joys and sting the soul?

Not in the heart embalmed in love

Transported from the worlds above,

Nor seasons, no, nor else can bring

Heartaches where only God is king.

That soul an endless spring enjoys

Where life the will of God employs.

He 'mid the fields of bliss may tread,
